"joohyun-eonnie!"

yerim could feel a sense of relief rushing inside her as she saw joohyun standing in front of the gate, with miyeon sleeping soundly in her arms.

it was quite late into the night, and yerim have been anxious all day long. she only have miyeon now, and she wouldn't even want to think of what will happen if she ever, ever lose her daughter.

"thank you, eonnie."

glancing at the black, stylish car behind joohyun, yerim could barely see taehyung's figure sitting on the driver's seat. her face suddenly turns pale. "eonnie... where were you... from?"

joohyun trembles a little at her question.

"don't tell me..."

"...i went to bangtan's private fanmeeting." joohyun decided to be honest. "and yes, jungkook met miyeon."

yerim's heart drops at joohyun's sudden revelation. "did he... know...?"

joohyun bit her lips, suddenly feeling a little bad for the younger girl. she was about to speak up when a deep, raspy yet familiar voice answers the question on her behalf.

"yes, jungkook recognizes miyeon within a glance. miyeon's eyes alone says everything." taehyung then glances at joohyun before ushering her to get inside the car. "let me talk to her."

yerim could barely register taehyung's presence, as her mind went blank. jungkook have met miyeon? ...what?

"and that silly guy cries his eyes out when miyeon hugs him." taehyung says. "miyeon is really cute, by the way. she is the perfect combination of you and jungkook's genes."

yerim is trembling so bad till the point hat she almost crumbles down. she bit her lips, hard, trying to process everything.

"you know... when you left, that dumb idiot went crazy... till the point that we almost sent him to the hospital. he cried everyday, knelt in front of your dorm almost every single day, trying to get a hold of you--"

"--it's his choice." yerim snaps back coldly. "he didn't bother to even glance at me when i left..." yerim's breath shakes a little, as the unpleasant memory comes back. "...so why would he bother about me now?"

"because he is a dumb idiot." taehyung replies calmly. "he realized how much you mean to him only after you left."

"well, it's too late for that."

"yeah, we did tell him it was too late, but he didn't care. he was young at that time, yerim. he was scared. he was scared to fail you and his future child. at that time, he was still a spoilt brat who craves for fame and money. don't we all?"

taehyung sighs as yerim's gaze remains cold and unwavering.

"you know... it was such a pretty sight seeing him and miyeon together. you and i both know that he will be the best father miyeon would ever have. you don't need to love him again... you just need to give your daughter a chance to live a normal life with her father."

taehyung steps closer before patting miyeon's head. "i know you, yerim. i know how you only want the best for miyeon. if you don't want to consider him as a lover, it's fine. just recognize him as your daughter's father."

he then smiles warmly towards yerim before patting her head gently, making yerim to shudder a little, as the feeling is quite overwhelming for her to bear.

during the old days, taehyung was the most supportive person. he is like an elder brother yerim never had.

and yerim is glad that taehyung didn't change, not even a bit.

"i am always here for you, little kim."

and the black car swiftly drives away, leaving yerim to drown in old memories.
